definitely needs a reservation! What a great time we had! Atmosphere was cool, place was buzzin!
food was great, the burger is BOMB! Salad wasn’t too bad (not the biggest salad fan in general) and finally the chips and ranch was AMAZING. Staff are awesome, our waiter was awesome and definitely wort
This was one of the best meals we have had in Chicago! We ordered the Mushroom Pot Pie and Salmon. Both were incredibly curated. In addition to the meal, the beer was perfect. We loved the staff and had an incredible experience. If I could give 10 stars I would!
Was here for the brunch, got a flight, the corn soup, brunch ribs, and chicken and waffles. Everything exceeded our expectations and went well with the beers. For us, the star was the maple syrup, worked well with sweetening the waffles and was slightly spicy on the chicken. Love to check out some o
First time coming here and I really liked it! They have great daily specials and do happy hour! I ordered the beer flight which is pre-picked and it was really good, particularly because they give you large portions! My only wish was that you could build your own flight. For food, I ordered the Spic
This place was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting bar food and very casual, it is rather casual but the food is a cut or two above what I was expecting. The beer flight is a great deal, 5 types of beer for $14 and it’s not the tiny shot glasses most places use. We split the arugula salad and Bruss
We visited Forbidden Root during the week and made a reservation last minute just to ensure we got a table. The restaurant was very laid back and they had the windows open since it was a nice day. The server was very friendly and informed us of the burger special that was taking place that day. We
Awesome beer and another vote for the duck dumpling dish. I did find the mushroom pasta to be a bit over cooked, but very helpful staff and interesting drink selection. They are “botanical” beers so definitely unique.
Made a reservation and came in early and the table was waiting for us which was nice, first of service was good so we’re the drinks. My chicken sandwich was delicious some of the other food we got as a table didn’t turn out so good, the Reuben had more bread then corn-beef the salad was barely a sal
My wife and I have visited here twice: once when the kitchen was closed and another time to eat. With exceptional food, awesome drinks, and good service, Forbidden Root Restaurant can easily be a place to hang with your friends on a night after work or for a night or with the family! The servers we
Fun and interesting beer selection. Enjoyed the atmosphere and it's cool that the brewery/restaurant used to be an old movie theatre! The mushroom pasta and the brussel sprouts were delicious! I would highly recommend.
When my girlfriend told me she had to reserve this place two weeks in advance I was a bit skeptical but oh my god it is well worth the wait. This place is nothing short of excitement from the flavors the food brings. Everything is rich with flavor. I would come back to the city of Chicago just to ea
Food was delicious but the Duck and Dumplings was overly salty. Everything else was wonderful. I would also probably ask not to be seated at the very front in the window next time, too. Place was nice but it felt like we were not really IN the restaurant. Great service.
Probably have been here 15+ times in the past year and will be coming back 30+ more.
You can't go wrong here. Food is always good, beer is a beautiful balance of aromatic/flavor/price/quality.
Get the salads. They are probably the best I've ever had from anywhere. But if you aren't into that the w
I decided to try something a little bit different from what I normally would order and went with the pork. Schnitzel sandwich. I generally come prepared with a full appetite, but this sandwich was a monster! I was not expecting to get that much Schnitzel with a sandwich - trust me, no complaints her
Such a great place to eat and drink. We love the popcorn and cheese and crackers apps. The duck and short rib dishes are delicious. Definitely try their beer flight.
I had dinner here last night and was so impressed with the food considering it's a brewery. I tried the duck gnocchi and a fried chicken sandwich and it was way better than expected - really high end and tasty! Service was great too, I'll certainly be back.
Great spot for quick apps or drinks. Beer flight was very good, and their shot selection was nice too. Cheeseboard was adequate. The burger was great, cooked medium rare, but the salads they use for their sides need a new sauce or change, way too bitter. Did not like that at all. The Spicy chicken
Strawberry basil beer and fried chicken sandwich is my go to order from forbidden root!
Is a great place for a large group with plenty of variety in beer cocktails and dishes!
My go to spot when make plans with 8 or more people.
Higher end food menu for a brewery. Will have to come back to try other items on the menu. The malted vinegar popcorn was a pleasant surprise. Beer options were solid as well.
The building was an old theater that has been converted to a restaurant space. The old building facade was a nice touch,
